Astypalaia Windmills Viewpoint

36° 32.7′ N · 26° 21.1′ E

A row of eight restored windmills lines the saddle at the entrance to Chora, framing the castle behind them. A single mill higher up gives the island's best view over both bays.

Practical

Wikivoyage: eight windmills at the entrance to Chora, two of them open to the public, and a single windmill above Chora whose main attraction is 'the view' (36.5538, 26.3501). The row is mapped in OpenStreetMap at the position given. Cafés and bars such as Mylos and Oi Myloi sit among the mills (OSM). Best at golden hour.
